Building Aurora Q2 with Plantation Homes: Finance approved!! And got a date for land settlement

Today, we received an email from our Solicitor advising our finance is approved and the settlement will be on 15th May (3 days after we return to Brisbane). What a relieved because we were worried if we signed all required paperwork before we left although the bank manager was well organised and assured us everything they need are signed.

Couple of days ago our soil test report came back showing M class soil which is considerately good :)

Below is a list of soil class and it's description.

A - Mostly made up of sand and rock and has very little change when wet.

S - Slightly reactive clay in the soil with only slight movement due to moisture.

M - Moderately reactive clay with moderate movement due to moisture.

H - Highly reactive clay site with High ground movement.

E - Extremely reactive site with extreme movement due to moisture.

P - Soft soils, land slip, mine subsidence, etc. Collapsing soils due to moisture and soil structure changes.

Well, we're still in the US at the moment and had a great road trip from Los Angeles to Las Vegas in the Mustang for last 4 days and had an unforgettable birthday there now driving back to Los Angeles. Tomorrow we will be flying from Los Angeles to....NEW YORK!! Have seen a lot of movies filmed in New York City and now we going there to see it for ourselves. Someone told us NYC is bigger than Brisbane city which I thought to myself which City is not bigger than Brisbane? lol.

I must say if you haven't visited Las Vegas highly recommend to visit and stay at Bellagio Hotel. The 4.5hrs road trip wasn't too bad (that was because I slept the whole way lol), saw a lot of nice scenes on the way. If we get to go there again I would do another road trip.

Just a few photos from our Las Vegas trip.
